Customizing Default FCS Express User Options

FCS Express contains many options that allow you to completely customize your working environment. You can save time by creating a new user name to save your common options rather than changing the default settings each time you start the program. The settings for these options are called the FCS Express User Options. These user options range from default sizes and formatting options for plots to the way FCS Express copies data to the clipboard.

 

All FCS Express User Options can be customized and saved under a unique user name. Any changes to the user options during a session will be saved for that user only and will not affect any other user. To customize the Preferences for the current user, select File tabOptions. The FCS Express User Options dialog (Figure 20.2) contains many categories number1, each of which groups several types of preferences together number2. The specific categories are discussed in other sections of this chapter.

 

A tutorial exists with step-by-step instructions for changing commonly edited FCS Express User Options.
